For the first time in the history of The Drinks Issue, this list is 100 per cent Australian.
In 2025, our sparkling wines are at a level to rival the very best in the world — one bottle might even be the finest Australian fizz ever released. Meanwhile, fortified wines continue to contract, yet our producers keep delivering world-class classics.
A celebration of homegrown excellence.
